The Way We Were

I must admit I didn’t see The Way We Were until it was referenced, and part of it recreated, in the season finale of Season 2 of Sex and the City, the great episode Ex in the City. Sydney Pollack’s 1973 film features one of the more iconic Barbra Streisand performances in a romance-over-the-decades, also starring Robert Redford (who never looked hotter). It’s funny, melodramatic and dated, and it’s rather perfect. A massive hit at the time, it should be on the list of “Films Every Gay Man Must See.”
